Episode 05 It’s not mental health. It’s just health. Featuring Dr. Jeff Romer, NCPsyA, LMFT, LCAC, Clinical Director at PCS
– The Colonel in Your Corner with Karl Truman
Dr. Jeff Romer is Clinical Director of Personal Counseling Service in Indiana. Dr. Jeff has training in divinity studies, marriage and family counseling and has a second doctorate in psychoanalysis. At the PCS clinic the counseling is based on self-psychology and has a spiritual dimension to it.
The clinic is based in southern Indiana, serving over 14 thousand people. Nearly 50 percent of the clients are below federal poverty levels and about 60 percent are young people. There are also satellite offices, including one in the Floyd County Jail.
Dr. Jeff appreciates it when someone says, “There’s no such thing as mental health. It’s just health.” So, the conversation in this episode addresses an important aspect of health. 
Highlights include:
The broader aspect of mental health today includes the term spirituality.
Depression and anxiety increase, especially at the end of the pandemic.
The increase of teens having suicidal thoughts.
Treating patients in-person again with some telehealth appointments.
People may seek help when there is pain in their lives.
The generational shift in understanding PTSD and war trauma.
